X-Plane Training Scenarios – Flight simulator lessons from Sporty’s
When using a simulator as a training device rather than a toy, it’s helpful to have direction on what scenarios or tasks are beneficial to the day’s digital mission. For that reason, the pilots at Sporty’s developed a few lessons to assist the digital pilot in jumping into pre-configured maneuvers that allow the user to practice multiple iterations within a fraction of the time. Each maneuver includes a briefing, a description of the desired results, a control setting prompt, and a quick transition into the maneuver after the digital instructor hands over the flight controls. Scenario 1 – Steep turns Scenario 2 – S-turns Scenario 3 – ILS approach (runway 21L at LUK)
